Detroit producer/DJ House Shoes comes second only to his late collaborator J Dilla as a tireless champion of the D's contemporary hip-hop scene. He is best known for his King James Version Dilla mixtape and his hectic worldwide touring schedule, working alongside talents like Slum Village and Mayer Hawthorne. Now he presents "Sweet", featuring emcee and fellow Detroit representative Danny Brown. "Sweet" appears on The Time, House Shoes' new EP out now on Tres Records.

We never posted a tracklist, right? Had to do it this time. The Alchemist is definitly in my top 5 producers and this list of features says it all while the dude is still humble as fuck. Can`t wait for July 17th.Hit the jump for the tracklist.

The single from Oh No's album Ohnomite is the DOOM track "3 Dollars", pressed on 5-inch vinyl. Stones Throw will have copies of these shipping by June 11th. CD & 2LP copies of the album Ohnomite are shipping now.

Did no one post this yet? did we miss out on the whole new El-P DoubleLP thing? Well, El Producto got a bit too flamboyant with his last releases and everything I heard from the new record is heading in the same direction.. but, it´s still EL-P, still one of the most unique producers out there.

Here it is finally - at least digitaly. Long awaited "Suff Sells" Album by Suff Daddy. After going through it shallowly, it seems to stick to the critically acclaimed Suff-Sound. Significantly many Korg lines and less samples, though. Perfect Walkman company! Vinyl available 01.06.2012.

We are big fans of yU and Black Opera,so it's more beautiful to hear them working together. Black Superstar is a critical look on the role of African-Americans in the American Culture.

Love that shit. Stones Throw announced the Re-Release of "Suite for Weldon" (2003). For those who missed that gem, check the preview tracks here (available on vinyl and digital download). "Suite for Weldon" was a EP to benefit Weldon Irvine’s young son and was the precursor to Madlib’s Tribute To Brother Weldon. Shake it.!

If you've been looking for some weird Beat Music, Jota Ese is the target. Scruffy audio settings, pitched vocals snips and darkroom ambience. He describes himself in the following way: "an average-sized man with a giant heart and a giant dick, who wears his tiny heart on his sleeve".

Ritmo Sportivo presents the new "Thallus" album "to gain volatility" and it's amazing. The new stuff is more quiet than "belong" and "between head and hand" equipped with a note of ambient in some tracks. But as is usual, Thallus shows his fortes in profound producing and sound layering. The release is available with "Name your Price" options at bandcamp. Cd's are available o Ritmos Sportivo's Bandcamp. (Album Stream + Download)

Been watching this dude for a couple of month, cause initially I thought of him as a laptop hipster... but... trust me, he's a lost romantic. Burning with his style...and very concious. Florida ... well, probably a nice place for ambient beat music.

Today he leeched a beautiful MP3, apparently a colaboration with CVL†SH‡†, but still Marcel Everett's (aka XXYYXX) style is safe! as the track is called.

&lt;p&gt;&amp;amp;lt;a href="http://mellomusicgroup.bandcamp.com/track/stand-up-feat-guilty-simpson-hassaan-mackey-prod-apollo-brown-2"&amp;amp;gt;Stand Up feat. Guilty Simpson &amp;amp;amp;amp; Hassaan Mackey [prod. Apollo Brown] by DJ Soko&amp;amp;lt;/a&amp;amp;gt;&lt;/p&gt;
DJ Soko and Apollo Brown, two thirds of acclaimed group The Left, command you to “Stand Up.” For this brazen order, Soko enlists Brown on the boards and the incomparable mic skills of Guilty Simpson and Hassaan Mackey.

Wild
Style can be summarized as pure 90s Hip
Hop, where Chuuwee is taking the classic elements of the golden era with the
look, sound and the feel and then applying them to the present day. Inspired by
Gang Starr, A Tribe Called Quest, Big L, De La Soul with even hints of DMX, Wild
Style promises to be Chuuwee’s break-out project, one that will showcase
him as being a frontrunner lyricist from Hip-Hop’s new school; while also paying
homage and respect to the great pioneers of the 1990’s. “Wild
Style is the album that’s going to eradicate weak rap off the face of
the map. It is the return of real Hip-Hop. It’s pure and it’s not me trying to
re-make it. It’s not me telling you its 90s Hip-Hop; it is 90s Hip-Hop”
says Chuuwee.

I dont know if i really like that song, the beat is petty but the King of the Hustler's always entertains, somehow. So make some extra thoughts, open some liquors and get blunted. Weekend! Quitting time!

I love it when artists peep me their music subtle and blowing me away with dopeness. Thanks to Blak King for enriching the day in the office. Blak King's "People's War" is off his upcoming new album "Elevated". For further informations visit Hdlife420.com.

This treat is off the massive Quakers collabo album by Fuzzface, 7-Stu-7 and Katalyst with 35 features on board like Prince Po, Pharcyde’s Booty Brown, Dead Prez, Phat Kat, and of course some of
the StonesThrow cats ilke Aloe Blacc, Guilty Simpson, MED and newest

tribe. He was also an uncle of Muhammad. Ali's mother, Fatima bint
Asad, also belonged to Banu Hashim, making Ali a descendant of Ishmael, the son of Ibrahim or Abraham.
